Mobileway SMS Solution
Results in a 100% Response Rate for OAAG
Mobileway - the leading global
facilitator of data and money flows in the wireless space
between mobile network operators, corporations and content
providers - has broken the boundaries of traditional advertising
by achieving a 100% take-up rate via its SMS solution for
the Organization of Asian Amateur Golfers (OAAG).
OAAG offered a special promotion
to members via SMS and within the same day received an influx
of calls from members wanting to sign up for the offer.
This was the first time the Organisation has received such
a tremendous response. It previously offered club promotions
via traditional advertising.
"Mobileway was approached
to provide a cost effective and efficient mode of reaching
out to OAAG members," said Cyrille Even, Vice President,
Mobileway Asia Pacific, "Our solution was to send SMS
messages to their members who have signed up for this service,
offering them the lowest green fees in Singapore. This enabled
OAAG members to receive up-to-date information through the
fastest and most personal mode possible - their mobile phones."
Previously, OAAG members had
to log-on to the OAAG Organisation web site or call to find
out which clubs in Singapore are offering promotions.
"We are extremely pleased
to have partnered with Mobileway because we are now able
to offer our members not only premium golfing services but
also to move to a whole new paradigm of a total consumer
experience," said Marcus Chang, Group CEO, Director
Organisation of Asian Amateur Golfers. "Thanks to Mobileway's
services, we can now reach out to our members anytime, anywhere
via SMS on their personal trusted device, the mobile phone."
OAAG's objective is to bring
alive the amateur golfing arena in Singapore to promote
and build a community among the members for their mutual
benefit and to bring the best interest and true spirit of
the game of golf. OAAG looks after the interests of amateur
golfers in Singapore and strives to maintain affordable
green fees for its members.
